Green find of the week: Norpro vertical roaster with infuser

You may be wondering how a chicken roaster can land the title of green find of the week, especially in a column written by a non-meat-eater. Well, this is my version of a public service announcement to alert all you barbecuers to the perils of your classic beer-can chicken. You see, that can of beer is typically lined with the estrogen-mimicking BPA banned from baby bottles and formula. We know that exposure to heat helps release estrogenic compounds. Instead of steaming your meat with a BPA infusion, get yourself a stainless steel roaster/infuser like this one from amazon.ca and add beer, cider, herbs - you name it. Boost your green karma by using a certified organic chicken. $37.
